A varactor diode was utilized in order to expand variable range of the natural oscillation frequency of an active phased-array antenna. We have conformed experimentally that the variable range of the natural oscillation frequency was expanded about three times in the oscillator controlled by the varactor diode. When frequency difference was given to the oscillators in the two elements antenna system, phase difference was appeared between the oscillators. The 2-, 3-, 5-elements patch antenna array was composed for the beam scanning experiments. All the above patch antennas showed good phased array characteristics. The experimental results are as follows that the scanning angle of the 2-elements array antenna is 28.6$^{\circ}$, the 3-elements array antenna is 29.4$^{\circ}$, and the 5-elements array antenna is 26.2$^{\circ}$.

This paper deals with extending the variable natural oscillation frequency range of an active integrated FET oscillator. In this paper, we conform experimentally that the variable range of the natural oscillation frequency is expanded about three times in the oscillator controlled by the varactor diode. When the frequency difference is given to the oscillators in the two element antenna system, phase difference appeared between the oscillators. The 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-element patch antenna arrays are composed for the beam scanning experiments. All the above patch antennas show good phased array characteristics. The range of the scanning angle is about $30^{\circ}$, and the radiation power is gradually increased from $50{\mu}W\;to\;200{\mu}W$. The radiation patterns we sharpened as the number of elements is increased.

본 논문에서는 직렬 inter-digital 커패시터와 이중 병렬 인덕티브 쇼트 스텁으로 구성된 double negative(DNG) 전송 선로를 설계하였다. 이러한 DNG 전송 선로는 특정한 주파수 이상에서는 double positive(DPS) 전송 선로의 특성을 가진다. 다시 말해서, 설계된 전송 선로는 DNG와DPS전송 선로의 특성을 주파수에 따라서 동시에 가진다. 누설파 대역에서의 DPS/DNG 전송 선로는 주파수 스캐닝 안테나로 이용되어 질 수 있다. 대칭 누설파 안테나의 분산 특성과 원거리 방사 패턴을 모의실험하였고 제작 및 측정하였다. 모의실험 결과는 측정결과와 대략 일치하였다.

Chebyscheff다항식을 이용한 Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna Array을 제작하였다. 설계된 상대적 전류 분포는 1:2:2:1이고 Array Antenna의 입력 어드미턴스와 반사 손실은 급전 선로를 포함한 전송 선로 모델로부터 계산되었다. 계산된 공진 주파수 값은 측정 된값과 잘 일치하였다. 또한 이상회로를 이용한 전자적 빔 Scanning 방법이 제시되었따.

A 3-stages Active Microstrip Phased Array Antenn(AMPAA) is implemented using Injection-Locking Coupled Oscillators(ILCO). The AMPAA is a beam scanning active antenna with capability of electrical scanning by frequency varation of ILCO. The synchronization of resonance frequencies in array elements is occured by ILCO, and the ILCO amplifies the injection signal and functions as a phase shifter. The microstrip ptch is operated as a radiation element. The unilateral amplifier is a mutual coupling element of AMPAA, eliminates the reverse locking signal and controls the locking bandwidth of ILCO. The possibility of Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits(MMIC) of T/R module is proposed by simplified and integrated fabrication process of AMPAA. The 0.75.$lambda_{0}$ is fixed for a mutual coupling space to wide the scanning angle and minimize the multi-mode. The AMPAA has beam scanning angle of 31.4.deg., HPBW(Half Power Beam Widths) of 26.deg., directive gain of 13.64dB and side lobe of -16.5dB were measured, respectively.

A technique is investigated for achieving broadband properties by controlling the operation frequency of microstrip antennas. The control is achieved by applying DC and AC bias to the microstrip antenna. Air gap antenna with pzt post and microstrip antenna with simple rectangular patch on the $LiNbO_3$ substrate were fabricated. In the case of Air gap antenna, the variation of operating frequency was 11Mhz and $LiNbO_3$ antennas was 11Mhz. Also, frequency scanning was achieved by appling AC bias.

A new approach to the active phased arrays for the second harmonic generation is presented. Phase variation between the second harmonic oscillators by the mutual synchronization is analyzed theoretically. In this coupling, the active antenna consists of the FET oscillator which plays two roles in fundamental oscillation and frequency multiplying, and the patch antenna resonated at the second harmonic frequency. The radiated second harmonic wave was scanned by varying the free-running oscillation frequencies of the active antennas. In the experiment using the 2-elements array and the 4-elements array, the radiated beam of the second harmonic wave was scanned more widely compared with the case of the fundamental wave radiation.

This paper proposes a $4{\times}4$ broadband phased array antenna using a Left-Handed Transmission Line (LHTL) based phase shifter. The phased array is constructed with sixteen quasi-Yagi antenna elements and the phase shifters, as well as four power dividers. A key component of the system, the LHTL based phase shifter is able to control a phase delay of incident waves linearly and continuously. The fabricated phased array antenna operate for a frequency range of 800 MHz (1.6 GHz~2.4 GHz). The beam scanning range of the $4{\times}4$ array antenna is ${\pm}27^{\circ}$ horizontally and vertically while the antenna gain is maintained with a variation of ${\pm}1.4dBi$.

The 4 by 4 microstrip phased array antenna designed and radiation characteristics are studied. The design frequency was chosen to be 5.8GHz. Chebyshev ratio was achieved by unequal power divider and Wilkinson power divider. The ratio of current at each port is 1 : 2.6 : 2.6 : 1 and then side lobe level is less than -30 dB. It is shown that the radiation beam direction can be changed up to 30。 by control the phase at each port. The result can be used to design electrically controllable microwave scanning antennas.

In this paper, microstrip array antenna with the phase lock are designed to consist of main lobe and sidelobe with difference 21.97dB for sharp beam pattern using Tchebyscheff polynominals. Microstrip array antenna with phase lock of 0$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$, 90$^{\circ}$ are designed, to scan beam for 0$^{\circ}$, 6$^{\circ}$, 12$^{\circ}$ to be 1:2:2:1 for the relative current distribution. The designed microstrip array antenna with phase lock is measured in terms of various characteristics such as return loss, resonant frequency, radiation pattern, bandwidth, beamwidth, and the measurement value and theoretical value agreed with each other. Also, the patch array antenna with the relative current distribution is presented phase shift for beam scanning.
